Supercongruences involving Apéry-like numbers and binomial coefficients

Let $ \{S_n\} $ be the Apéry-like sequence given by $ S_n = \sum_{k = 0}^n\binom nk\binom{2k}k\binom{2n-2k}{n-k} $. We show that for any odd prime $ p $, $ \sum_{n = 1}^{p-1}\frac {nS_n}{8^n}{\equiv} (1-(-1)^{\frac{p-1}2})p^2\ (\text{ mod}\ {p^3}) $. Let $ \{Q_n\} $ be the Apéry-like sequence given...
